Even the liberal Snopes offers a tortured "denial" of her connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. I think there are questions when she edited a journal that people feel a need to defend with rhetoric like "I wouldn't call it radical".
That's pretty weak evidence. And she isn't president of the United States. So, I would say that he would be correct to fear Trump more. Let's not sit here and act like Donald Trump hasn't said 100 different, reckless things that are the reason people say this stuff. Is it over the top? Yes. Does it have no merit whatsoever? No, it doesn't. He's an unhinged lunatic with no education of or regard for our Constitution.
Didn't he graduate from Wharton? I don't know what that's worth, but it's pretty silly to call him uneducated. You can point out instances of all kinds of politicians including recent presidents stomping all over the Constitution. It rings a little hollow when the focus is on Trump who hasn't even taken office yet.
With regard to Abedin (and so many other matters of a political nature), you can shop the Internet for your information. The truth is, we don't know, but there are definitely some things that should be of more concern to Jews re: her and Hillary than there is with Trump. The idea that Trump is "coming for Jews" is absolutely baseless.
You think Donald Trump has a good understanding of the Constitution and American values based on his Wharton education? All you have to do is listen to him speak. You and many others seem to rely on some innate knowledge that this guy isn't really as crazy as he comes off. I operate under no such assumption. I take him at his word. Everything he says, tweets, implies, or embodies is ignorant, repugnant, and anti-intellectual. His words mattered before, and they matter even more now. Comparing an assistant to Hillary Clinton to the next president of the U.S. is nonsense. He has more power than any person in the world. It amazes me how his lack of integrity doesn't bother some. And if someone is going to come back and say it's just an act, I'd like to see some sort of proof. My guess is that that's being said more out of a hatred for Hillary Clinton than anything else.
I don't think Trump is going to be able to subvert the Constitution in such obvious ways as his crazy talk suggests. I think it's much more dangerous to have a president who is subtly pushing at the margins the way Bush II and Obama did.
You said in another thread that Trump's Chief of Staff was of vital importance. Abedin clearly would have been on a short list for a potential Clinton Chief of Staff. I think an examination of her possible ties to foreign terror would certainly have been appropriate.
And it's amazing that someone could talk about a lack of integrity in someone else as a defense of Hillary Clinton. If integrity is the test, I'm pretty certain Clinton doesn't take that one vs. Trump.
Trump will have a number of insiders on his team who would be more than knowledgeable enough to help him "subtly push the margins". It would simply be a matter of what Trump wanted to push at.
And your hypothetical absolutely would make it important to vet Huma, but Clinton's not going to be president... and I think a vetting of the president is more important than someone who would be a close adviser (though both are obviously important). The argument at the beginning of this thread is whether the unhinged soon-to-be president of the U.S. or a now unemployed former aid to a presidential candidate was a bigger possible threat to Jews. I don't really think it's an argument that it's the former.
Lastly, I didn't mention Hillary Clinton. I have voiced my displeasure for HRC since last year. I don't understand why the rebuttal is always about her. Though, I will agree with Nas... you're still my guy even though you're a Trump supporter.
